@thesilentwitness1: In September 1978, Mary Vincent, just 15 years old, was running away from home after her parents separated. She was trying to get to her grandparents' house in Los Angeles and, innocently, hitchhiked on the highway. The person who stopped her was Lawrence Singleton, a seemingly friendly, middle-aged man. Mary, believing she was safe, accepted the ride. Well... a mistake that nearly cost her life. During the journey, Singleton att@ck€d Mary. He hit her with a sl€dg€h@mmer, @bus€d her repeatedly, and, as if that weren't enough, @mput@t€d both of her arms with a cl€av€r. Then, he threw her off a cliff, thinking she was d€ad. But Mary didn't d!e. Despite losing a lot of blo0d, she managed to climb the cliff, her elbows covered in mud to staunch the ble€ding, and walked more than 5 km until she was rescued by a couple passing by in a car. Lawrence Singleton was arrested and sentenced to 14 years in prison, the maximum allowed at the time. Do you know how many he served? Eight. Only eight years. In 1997, now free, he committed another crime: he murd€red a woman named Roxanne Hayes, a mother of three. This time, he was sentenced to d€ath, but di€d of cancer in 2001, before the execution. Mary, on the other hand, survived and became an activist for women and survivors of viol€nce. #maryvincent #viral #truecrime #fyp #scary
